I think that people should be prepared that their life won't be the same until the vaccine. Even with the vaccine, there will be a lot of sick and dead people around (all those that don't want to get a vaccine and - as I can see - there's A LOT of them) and a lot of pressure on medical system while trying to help those who are against vaccination. So, those against the vaccine will again make a lot of problems for all of us.
Until we get the vaccine we will have to practice some way of social distancing and some special measures.
If they never discover the vaccine, I don't know what's going to happen... Maybe we will all get sick and become immune in time and - maybe not. Maybe we will get ill over and over and over again until only the strongest ones survive... Nobody can tell.
Whenever I used to come on CS in the past - 90% of all the blogs were about Trump, so I rarely ever read or wrote anything here and decided to stick to the forums. Now - 90% of all the blogs are about the virus. I'm not sure if that's an improvement...
It's very painful to become a wolf. When a man becomes a werewolf he always screams, roars and yells. If you want to become one - you should get bitten or at least scratched by another werewolf.
What have you (members of this place) done to all those people in order to make them become so jaded and hate you so much? You must have hurt them really badly...
Much more exhausting and demanding than being a forumer, as I can see here.
On forums - you write what you want when you want. Even if you start a thread you can forget about it.
But on blogs, you have to read every comment, you have to reply to everyone, you have to compliment and agree and show interest and concern and remember facts about people and pretend that you are great friends with them...
Although it's actually the same - both are virtual worlds and you have no idea what kind of people are those you communicate with.
I'm not a native English speaker and my English is full of mistakes. Being mistaken and mixed with a native English speaker is really rare flattery. I've never thought that my English is so good.
As I previously said, I play some games online and - Americans are the ones who pay the most. The games are alive because Americans pay a lot of money for playing and most of that money is completely unnecessarily spent on hoarding, competing and greed. The games tried to be international at first and although they do have many players from other countries - those players simply don't spend so much as Americans. So they got American-oriented.
In one of the games - the last week was all about American's holiday July 4th. As you can imagine, the rest of the world is not at least interested in that American holiday and many have never even heard of it, but we adapted and patiently waited until Americans finished waving with their flags and adoring their country so we could continue playing normally. After all - they pay for all of us to play...
I know that American people are generally badly-informed about the rest of the planet, hardly know and even less care about anything except their own country and think that they are loved all over the world, that everyone envies them and wants to come to their country, etc, etc. Rather ignorant people. But, then, they are rich and they spend a lot so ... everyone tolerates them. What can one do?
I don't come often - I haven't been here for 2 months - was too busy and I keep my profile hidden, because I cannot deal with messages at the moment. But I enjoy to drop by from time to time, although I enjoy forums more. There's nothing much to read on blogs anyway.
I noticed something about people who enjoy discussing politics. It seems that it makes them feel important. As if they become politicians themselves while doing it.
It's like a sport for some people. They cheer their team up and - for a moment - they ARE that team and they feel the connection and belonging to something bigger than themselves.
I think it's one of the reasons why political discussions are so popular and passionate.
After writing a post on this blog, I got locked out of CS and couldn't log in any more. I continuously got the message that my profile does not exist. I thought that CS deleted my profile because of writing on this blog. It got me very upset. I should have written on funny blogs and threads only.
It was short, but it was fun. I liked this social network part of CS more than a CS dating site.
I'm just astonished and sad how fast (?) these dating sites have became so bad. Being an expat, living here and there, I heavily relied on the internet to meet new people. It's hard when you are in a foreign country, especially if you don't speak the language well. My options are shrinking and I guess I started panicking a little.
How about make a promise to all of us that you will post the photo of your nice clean car on CS and we will be astonished and amazed and give you many compliments and you will feel great?
Moderators or administrators of any site have your IP address and can track you down. There are ways to hide your IP address, of course, but it's also not a guarantee.
People can fool around publicly, but that's just for public. The site owners know who you are and if you do something inappropriate that is against the law - they can turn you down to the police.
People aren't really anonymous on the internet. Nobody cares about most things people write and post online, but if you plan to rob a bank - be sure not to talk about it - not only publicly, but in your private messages, e-mails and everything else connected to the internet.
